Retro stitching

I wanted to do something slightly retro and whilst cross-stitch isn't generally my thing it seemed to fit the bill. This is, unsurprisingly, a new home card for some friends.

I'm quite pleased with the graduated colour in the lettering, (this was take 2 and involved a certain amount of unpicking), although in retrospect the darkest red should have been at the top (note to self: don't skimp on the unpicking).

I've been doing craft 'stuff' for a long while and wanted to be able to share inspiration, ideas and images with friends. And who knows, it may even give me the impetus to finish some of the projects currently cluttering up the house.
